I know, another spacers thread but I've done some searching so if you don't have any interest in contributing, feel free to back out. Now, I've got a 2013 SH-AWD with the elite/advanced package wheels depending what country you're from. It also has that factory body kit on it. I plan on doing H&R springs.

1)So what brand would you go with?
2)What else is needed? Do they need and/or come with studs?
3)Where to order from?
4)what sized? I've looked around at threads and people seem to suggest 20mm front and 25mm back. I don't want any rubbing at all.
5)Is there any safety or performance concerns I should be worried about? Anyone going through wheel bearings or anything?

Also, feel free to show me how you car sits with spacers to get an idea. My car is pictured below for reference.

I got 20mm for front and 25mm for rear. I am lowered on coils and no rubbing.

I got mine from Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech and below is what I ordered:Car: 2012 Acura TL SH-AWDWheels: Original wheels 19"Front: 20mm spacerRear: 25mm spacerBolt patter: 5x120Hub centric dimensions: 64.1mmWheel dimensions: 64.1mm
Stud Size: 14x1.5
Only thing I had to do is grind off a marker that is on the back of OEM wheel. There was some interference between the wheel and the spacer. Literally 10 seconds with a dremel per wheel.
I use the OEM wheels for my winter set up so the spacers go on for winter and come off for summer, in any case no issues what so ever so far after 4 years.

Such little response, I'm surprised. Is having to grind the wheels common when you do spacers? I've never read about having to do that.

It's not common to grind a wheel but it is literally just about 1mm if that, that i had to grind off. It's just a mark/stamp that the wheel has on the back that needed a slight trim. (In my case at least).

This is an old thread but I'm still looking for some answers. I've heard good things about the H&R spacers. Where is cheapest to order? Perhaps somewhere that had springs too

In the same boat, already on coils.

Flip flopping on 20mm all around or 25mm all around. Still haven't decided.

^buy some washers from a home renovation store,like home depot...dunno if they have that brand in canada.
but, you're going to take off your wheel and stack the washers onto the lugs..put on wheel to give you a visual idea....then when you have the washers stacked at your visual optimum preference, take off wheel and take off stack of washers..measure stack and should give you exact measurements of the spacer you need.
all for a couple bucks in washers

If I was going to order I think i'd go 20 and 25mm. I'm wondering about any rubbing issues just on h&r springs with stock 19s. I'd assume no?

^why not use the washer trick....
it will physically and visually show you if you rub...

grab you 25mm worth of washers.
